How to get my recovery key

Hello nikifromalvord,

The recovery key for your Apple ID is not something that is stored and able to be recovered. Per How to generate a recovery key - Apple Support, "Using a recovery key is more secure, but it means that you’re responsible for maintaining access to your trusted devices and your recovery key. If you lose both of these items, you could be locked out of your account permanently."

You can try to generate a new one using the steps from that article. However, if these fail, there will not be a way to regain access to your account without the key.

1. Go to Settings > [your name] > Password & Security. You might need to enter your Apple ID password.

2. Tap Recovery Key.

3. Slide to turn on Recovery Key.

4. Tap Use Recovery Key and enter your device passcode.

5. Write down your recovery key and keep it in a safe place.

6. Confirm your recovery key by entering it on the next screen.

Take care!
